Molecular Ecology provides a comprehensive introduction to the manydiverse aspects of this subject. The book unites theory withexamples from a wide range of taxa in a logical and progressivemanner, and its accessible writing style makes subjects such aspopulation genetics and phylogenetics highly comprehensible to itsreaders. The first part of the book introduces the essentialunderpinnings of molecular ecology, starting with a review ofgenetics and a discussion of the molecular markers that are mostfrequently used in ecological research. This leads into an overviewof population genetics in ecology. The second half of the book thenmoves on to specific applications of molecular ecology, coveringphylogeography, behavioural ecology and conservation genetics. Thefinal chapter looks at molecular ecology in a wider context byusing a number of case studies that are relevant to variouseconomic and social concerns, including wildlife forensics,agriculture, and overfishing
* comprehensive overview of the different aspects of molecularecology
* attention to both theoretical and applied concerns
* accessible writing style and logical structure
* numerous up-to-date examples and references
This will be an invaluable reference for those studying molecularecology, population genetics, evolutionary biology, conservationgenetics and behavioural ecology, as well as researchers working inthese fields.
